About Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is the European Union programme for education, training, youth and sport. It runs for seven years, from 2014 to 2020, with organisations invited to apply for funding each year to undertake creative and worthwhile activities. Almost one billion euros will be allocated to the UK alone over seven years.

Following the result of the referendum of the European Union, the National Agency for Erasmus+ in the UK, a partnership of the British Council and Ecorys UK, is continuing to manage the Erasmus+ programme in the UK. The UK government and the European Commission have both emphasised that as long as the UK is a member of the EU, all EU laws and obligations apply and that includes Erasmus+. Organisations and participants should therefore continue to prepare for the application deadlines in 2017 as usual.

Our project has had a lasting impact on all participants; it has promoted the use of digital learning and teaching in the classroom as well as strengthen the European identity of those taking part.
